Hi, Can you delay consuming messages on a queue by the date time?
Its a feature requested but we've not yet implemented it... http://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/AMQ-451
I would like to place a message on a queue but not have it consumed until a certain time in the system is reached in the future. Say for example 5 mins into the future.
You can place it on the queue, then you could create a consumer in 5 minutes time to consume it but its not ideal. To consume '5 minutes old' messages, you could use a selector to filter old-enough messages; then every (say) minute close & recreate the consumer with a new selector. Or you could use something like this to poll from the queue http://activemq.apache.org/camel/quartz.html -- James ------- http://macstrac.blogspot.com/
